thanks for the heads up on Goldfrapp and Macy (saw her open for Bowie a few yrs back)

I've been listening to 20Ten (Prince will always be god; followed by the Pet Shop Boys, and then NIN);but quite frankly I'm groovin' on a bunch of old George Clinton and KMFDMlounging out by the pool reading, during this scorching summer. (I looove living back down South again)

It usually takes me a couple of listens to fully digest an album and decide if I like it.

There's a cd title that must stick in the claw of the dumped love.

I agree with your rule on very modern rock / pop. Though I can also hate something instantly if its in a genre I don't like and love something right away if I already love the star and the music. Right now LCD Soundsystem can do no wrong. Same for Groove Armada.

You are probably the 5th person who has recommended LCD Sounsystem, so I am downloading their new album as a type this. The only so song I know by them is "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" which I tired of quickly.

oh, I didn't know we were supposed to just list the ones we liked. LOLThe Sisters doesn't strike me as anything too whoop-de-doo really.

Too be honest Prince's 20Ten only rates as "alright". I keep hoping he'll put out another purple rain or 1999 but instead we keep getting stuff like 3121 or lotusflower. While there are a couple decent hits and some serious Minneapolis-funk, nothing he's put out in the 00s has been like the stuff from the 80-90s. (Lately, I've been getting some bootleg Prince concerts which aren't too bad at all.) but maybe that's just me and the way it is. It seems all my favs grow, change and leave behind what I loved about them the best.

Brandon Flowers' single is lovely (from The Killers) looking forward to the cd.

I just never have been able to get into the Killers either; though sooo many other people just won't shut up about them. LOL Even with the Pet Shop Boys mixing one of theirs, I just can't get into them.

Oh, I had to add Lady Antebellum to my list now. My brother is making me listen to them. ROFL Since I'm back in the South, I am once again exposed the yeehaw sounds of Country. but he made up with a copy of the new Ed Kowalczyk (formerly of Live)(I don't know if it's any good yet; but I've always liked Ed's sound, so I've got high hopes).

However one of the nieces has forced the latest Miley on me. but how bad can that be? My OhioNiece made me listen to My Chemical Romance and Panic at the Disco.

yeppers, it's always that way. I don't know how many times I've listened though a Nails or Pet Shop Boys disc the first time and thought WTF? But a few playthroughs later, and it's something I won't shut up about. Who knows the reason, but the only discs I think I've always liked right out of the box have been KMFDM

I like to listen to BetaLounge. This site offers a huge collection of non mainstream music. My favorite is a recording of King Britt done at the Lounge Club - Hamburg, Germany (recorded Oct 24, 1999). That is great music to blast while cleaning the house. Google it and take a listen sometime.

I just dont really care for lots of the new stuff that is coming out these days.

"I have tried hard--but life is difficult, and I am a very useless person. I can hardly be said to have an independent existence. I was just a screw or a cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else."

Well I get bored by the new stuff on my player and always go eventually to 60's and 70's. Today it was Curtis Mayfield and yesterday Jimi Hendrix. I made "pot butter" - it and the tunes keep my mind off the terror that is cleaning out my apartment. Today I ate it with nuked oatmeal cookies, and berries and yogurt. Loved the Curtis Mayfield when it's delicious but some of it so down right cheesy I have to skip some tunes that remind me of Saturday Night Live versions of bad soul.

I put Rick Ross- Teflon Don on...Added some Rosco Dash and Yung Berg...Then added some older stuff by Usher and Ray J but then I had to go old skool and add some Marvin Gaye-Just like Music..A lil bit of Remy Ma, Lady Saw, Too Short, Chuckii Booker, Musiq Soulchild, India Arie and Paul Wall. I try to be versitile in my music. I even have some 80's stuff like Thomas Dolby, The Police, and Billy Idol. I am slowly building momentum, I only have over 200 songs on my Ipod so I know I have a lot of catching up to do with you guys.

Billy Idol put on a zesty great show in Montreux Jazz this year. Nobody expected that, and we all enjoyed it!

Man, I had the biggest crush on him back in the day along with George Michael and Prince. Tho I am still crushing on Prince til this day even though he took all his music off the internet and said the internet is dead.

Kylie Minogue's "All the Lovers" is on the radio all the time here, now, and I can't get it out of my head....

since I could get Miley Cyrus' "Robot" outta my head , and since I just watched through all the "True Blood" episodes back-to-back over 3 or 4 days, now I'm listening through both "True Blood" soundtracks.

With those two soundtracks, Lady Antebellum, and the Johnny Cash that's always been on my player, I'm very surprised at the country flavor I've got going on this Summer.

as far as Kylie, I especially liked "Cupid Boy" and "Everything is Beautiful". I'd be afraid to go to a concert of her's though since "put your hands up" had to have been written just for that kind of event.

small world. I was just listening to Plastic Beach this afternoon, while I was downloading some Violent Femmes.

From the True Blood thread, I learned that PJ Harvey sang on Gano's solo disc ("Hitting the Ground"), so it seemed like a good time to listen through the Violent Femmes stuff again and to fill in the holes in my library. Found out the Femmes covered Gnarls Barkley's “Crazy” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD-SMLTfuVw) after that duo covered the Femmes' song "Gone Daddy Gone" on their St. Elsewhere disc. They had a creepy flea and tick video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZbeiXZVWbM&feature=av2e)
